Polperro, impressively featured in Januarys Gourment Traveller and Qantas inflight magazine is gaining a great reputation as one of the most impressive , inviting destinations on the Peninsula. The kitchen is directed by well renowned chef Andrew Doughton ( also co-oner of The Long Table Restaurant) .

Polperro is nestled among the vines and shaded by ancient Angophora trees on a stunning 25 acre property in the heart of the famous wine region Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula.

Our aim is to create a synergy between the vineyard and kitchen, and incorporate the seasonal harvests from the estate into the constantly evolving bistro plates. We are committed to an ethos that promotes a relationship between the landscape, the people and the produce. Our approach will be to offer fresh, textural & seasonal flavors with an emphasis on where the food comes from and how it is grown. A collaboration between winemaker and chef will ensure a new generation of food & wine offerings.

There will be a strong focus towards casual dining and drinking with service that is both informed and personable.

This is a great opportunity to join a passionate, talented, growing team, all of which think and behave as if this business was their own.

We own or manage 6 vineyards on the Peninsula and are serious about our culture and look to recruit those strongly aligned with our values.
